Way of the light, everythings all right now, when you're living in the light now.

Hello from sunny, spring-like Ann Arbor!

It has been a time. How are you? Hows the wife and kids?

Good? Great? Beautiful.

Lets get serious for a second. How gorgeous is it right now? This is the kind of weather that makes me want to frolic in a field, make flower garlands, and forget the world of work and responsibility that looms before me. Last night some friends and I had a very laid back arb picnic. Yes it was a little too cold to be out after dark, and yes the ground was still sodden with melted snow, but did we care?

Well, yeah actually, a little. But still it was so nice to be outside without a coat and feel the sun on my face. Especially after my day yesterday, which started with two mid-terms (no St. Patricks day for me folks), fed into a delicious 7 mile run, PB&J with wine in the Arb, and culminated with MadMen. I enjoyed the progression.

So these doodles were me, tense and anxious, dealing with the class between my two midterms. The person up top with the bags under her eyes might just be me. The drawings beneath that are doodled in words, which I just started doing and love. Because its easy. And my mind was drained. So the words incorporated are "Why? Because!" The "Why?" is composed of monsters, the "Because!" is fairy tales, see if you can figure them out.

Its like a slightly less than awesome mind puzzle!

Baby take off your cool, I wanna see you, I wanna see you.

Today is lovely. Sadly, even though the sun is out I still have school. Lots of school. I've got one more class and after that I'm going to bury myself in studying for my two midterms. Thank you UofM. I love you too.

So these, then, are my Histart 481 and Soc 102 notes. You may be able to tell that the sun has made me loopy. If you close-up on the pages you will be able to read the written elements of these doodles, which are pretty extensive. My favorite of today? Without a doubt the Granny Lady and Wolf ensemble (seen above). I took great joy in that. I think more fairy tale themes will probably follow.
Soc 102 I was a little late for because I needed to make a Comet Coffee run. Ann Arborites, you must check out this place. Its in Nickels Arcade. Yes, yes the coffee is fantastic, the setting is cute, and the pastries are flaky and buttery, but thats not the reason that I'm making this suggestion. Its more so that you can check out the delightful pen drawings of fellow Ace Deuce dweller Ben Saginaw that pepper the place. Next time I see him Ill see if I can get him to guest contribute a doodle.

I might just have plans to expand this blog. Anyone who would like me to scan in a little piece of their talent should contact me in anyway possible. Carrier Pigeon delivery is preferred.

And this one? I don't even know what to say with this one...I will say that it is a faithful depiction of the salad I later ate for lunch, minus the business with the banana.

Love, peace, banana,

Jordan
